In a few days, Baldur’s Gate 3’s early access is finally set to release after two delays. Of course, the forthcoming release of the game’s early access has fans of both Dungeons and Dragons and previous games in the Baldur’s Gate franchise excited given that Baldur’s Gate 3 is expected to be one of this year’s biggest roleplaying games.
It is worth noting that Baldur’s Gate 3 is just the beginning of many exciting things coming to Dungeons and Dragons video games. As such, there is a lot of pressure on Baldur’s Gate 3, given that the upcoming game will likely influence everything that will come after it. Now, for those who cannot wait to get their hands on Baldur’s Gate 3, here is a breakdown of everything we know so far about the upcoming early access such as release date, content, and more.
As previously mentioned, Baldur’s Gate 3 has been delayed for a couple of times in the past. Originally, the game was supposed to come out in August before being pushed to September 30th, and now, the game is scheduled to release in early access on October 6, 2020. Given that there are only two days left before Baldur’s Gate enters early access, it appears that the release date is already set in stone. Moreover, Baldur’s Gate 3’s early access will be made available for the PC and Google Stadia.
Now, despite being an early access version of the game, players who wish to play Baldur’s Gate on October 6 should know that they would have to pay the full price of $60 upfront. Of course, given that an early access version of the game is only a fraction of the whole experience, it is understandable that not all players would find this offer interesting. However, developer Larian Studios said that Baldur’s Gate 3’s early access may not be for everyone, and the studio is trying to target a specific type of gamer for the preview version.
However, it is worth highlighting that Baldur’s Gate 3’s early access will include a pretty packed experience for those who are willing to risk paying full price for a fraction of the game. According to developers, the early access will include several classes and races, and 5 companions to recruit. The races, subraces, and classes available in the early access are as follows:
Races:
- Human
- Githyanki
- Elf (High Elf, Wood Elf)
- Drow (Seldarine Drow, Loith-Sworn Drow)
- Half-Elf (Wood Half-Elf, Drow Half-Elf)
- Dwarf (Gold, Shield)
- Halfling (Lightfoot Halfling, Strongheart Halfling)
- Tiefling (Asmodeus Tiefling, Mephistopheles Tiefling, Zariel Tiefling)
Classes:
- Cleric
- Fighter
- Ranger
- Rogue
- Warlock
- Wizard
It is worth remembering that Baldur’s Gate 3 is not Larian Studios’ first game to have an early access before the release of the full game. Several years ago, the studio also offered an early access preview for Divinity: Original Sin 2, before its release in 2017, and for those who are familiar with that game, Baldur’s Gate 3‘s early access will be three times bigger than what was offered in Divinity: Original Sin 2. Apart from the numerous classes and races, the Baldur’s Gate 3‘s early access will contain nearly 46,000 lines of dialogue, and and estimated 600 characters.
Given all these exciting new content that players can expect in the early access of Baldur’s Gate 3, how long will the entire experience last? According to Larian Studios, a single playthrough should take roughly 20 hours to complete, and at that point, players should have reached level 4. However, the studio also said that they hope players will do multiple playthroughs given that it is impossible to see everything that the game has to offer in a single run. Given this, players who are hesitant to pay the full price for the early access should know that this preview contains tons of stuff for players to enjoy, and their feedback will be considered once Baldur’s Gate 3 releases in full sometime in the future.
Baldur’s Gate 3 releases in Early Access on PC and Google Stadia on October 6, 2020.
